Central Asia has been between war and peaceful Libra until the Silk Road has flourished. Although war still spreads, it has also eased slightly. People living on this land are mostly used to this way of life, displaced, or died in the war generations. The autumn wind blew yellowed the fields and foothills. After being invaded by the Seliusians last year, many caravans passed by the land, and the dilapidated city became lively. They thought that such peaceful days would last for a long time. However, just one year later, the Persians in the south also set foot here in this autumn.

Parthia, in the cold autumn wind, huge chaos spread everywhere. Many tribes left their own places of life with their own wealth. Occasionally, they could meet the Selius caravans that were dispersed by Persian cavalry. They were originally hostile to the other side, but now they came together. As one of the largest caravans of the Western Expedition Army, the Beihe Zhen family tried to save such a situation. They were unwilling to give up the broken trade route and used the weapons and armor they obtained to buy the Central Asian nomadic tribes they encountered along the way, and resisted with the Persian light cavalry that might be pursued by the surroundings. However, in this situation, some caravans or Parthians were waiting for reinforcements to return, while the other partisans made difficult choices, stayed, or crossed the Kushan territory and returned to Dayuan. After a winter, they crossed the Palacioles and returned to the Western Regions...

The Sassanian Persian Emperor Ardashir called on millions of Persians living in Parthia to join the war in the name of restoring the glory of his ancestors. For more than a month, a mighty resistance appeared in all provinces and vassal states covered by the Parthian Empire. The original suppression of the power became powerless when the news of Ardaban's death came. The Persians of the sect were motivated to do everything they could to attack the lonely Parthian soldiers, throwing their bodies and heads to the door of the governor's mansion, or hanging them in the market, thus causing greater panic.

On November 15th, the weather turned cold, and Gongsun Zhi's 100,000 Western Expedition Army arrived in Taixifeng. The messages sent to him along the way could be built to his calf. Sassanthesian Persia was good at cavalry fighting and had also been presented to the military discussion. After making the fastest response discussion, the Black Mountain Cavalry led by Yan Rou and the anxious Parthian cavalry continued to advance eastward, with Hekadunbiru as the center, headed northward, and wanted to open up the trade route first, then head south to encircle the Persian army.

"The current situation is not good for us, and the only thing that is good for us is God." Gongsun Zhi stood on the city wall, looked at the gloomy sky clouds, and said softly. Now the Western Expedition Army uses Tai Xifeng as the military center on both sides of the east and west, temporarily maintaining the morale of the army. On the 17th day, the first heavy snow fell in the sky in winter.

Everything that can be seen in the view of white snow covered the snow. The three cavalry of the White Wolf Cavalry, the Xiliang Cavalry and the Bow Wolf Cavalry rushed out of Taixifeng toward Hekadonbiru, who had gathered in the Persian army. For the Persian army without winter combat, it was difficult to withstand a round. The defeated soldiers rushed into the city to avoid the edge. They secretly organized another cavalry to attack the left wing of the White Wolf Cavalry led by Zhao Yun. However, because the snow was too thick, the control of the horses in winter decreased. Instead, they were cut off by Ma Chao, who led the troops back to the rescue, and left more than a thousand corpses and horses in panic and retreated into the city.

Ardashir, sitting in the palace, then remembered the huge number of Selius people who went to the west. He had heard in the Persian Gulf how brave the other army was, from east to west like a devastating battle. After all, he had never faced it directly. He thought it was just an excuse for the cowardice of the Parthians. A battle outside the city made him regain his understanding.

"It's cold and cold. These Selius people won't hold on for too long. They just sit in the city and watch them with peace of mind! Since they dare to fight, they never thought of letting these Selius people return to the East."

The Persian emperor, who trimmed and combed three beards, did not care about the enemy cavalry wandering outside the city. As he expected, although Zhao Yun and his team of cavalry succeeded in blitzing, the morale of the opponent was not dispersed and they just occupied the city. The infantry outside the city did not give him a chance to take advantage of the camp defense. Four days later, they would withdraw their troops.

After passing the New Year, it was already the seventh year of Jian'an. In March, the winter snow melted, and the 100,000 Western Expedition Army was headed by Gongsun Zhi to advance Parthia. When the vast banners spread, in April, Sassanthes Persia drew 50,000 troops from its country to the expedition. In addition to the troops conquering other provinces of Parthia, they still had 150,000 troops.

Both sides seemed to have a premonition. In May, the two sides fought on a plain west of Hekadonbiru and east of Taixifeng. At the edge of the scouts, the White Wolf Cavalry collided with a Persian light cavalry that also attacked. The infantry formation slowly advanced to the front line, forming a stalemate. After the test, Gongsun Zhi launched a night attack, using the Parthian heavy cavalry as an arrow. After the Xiliang Cavalry broke through the first defense behind, the Persian army launched.

The counterattack was surrounded by numerous encirclements and had to retreat without doing its best. Then he was chased by Persian light cavalry. In the early morning, Pan Feng and Wu Anguo, who were ambushing the forest field, came out from the side. The three thousand Persian cavalry chasing wolf ran to Zhuotu, were killed by a large number of arrows and rains, and were frantically counterattacked by Ma Chao, who was turning around and killed, beheading two thousand levels. The stacked Jingguan was placed in the middle of the battlefield where the two sides fought. The troops on both sides also ignited the anger on this night, and the war of attack and defense was kicked off...

***************

Far to the east, Dayuan Guishan City at the foot of the Pamir Mountains.

The sudden war broke out in Parthia in the west only came after the New Year. When the chaotic caravan returned with the rest of his family in panic, Zhang Ren realized that the retreat of the Western Expedition Army might be cut off. After discussing with veteran Yan Yan, he decided to send troops to rescue him. He was dissuaded by the King of Dayuan, Meitu, and then quarreled.

"Dayuan has no troops to send. If your country's army goes west again, what should we do if there is an enemy attack in Dayuan?"

"My Western Expedition Army is about to die, who can control you!"

"I am not in a good position, and there are many people in the middle of the country who are jealous. Once your army leaves, you will inevitably rebel. Dayuan is the retreat for Governor Gongsun to retreat to the Western Regions, and there must be no mistakes."

While the three were arguing, the scouts outside sent a message that there was an unusual movement in the southern part of Kushan and gathered towards Dayuan.

In the two years since the Western Expedition, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan have been stationed here in an endless manner. Naturally, they understand how important this location is. This is not only a matter of retreat, but also a must-pass way for all caravans and army food and fodder supply. It was originally a party that did not violate the rivers, and there was even an army assisting in the war. But at this moment, Kushan actually made abnormal moves at this critical moment, which almost made Zhang Ren and Yan Yan feel their hearts in their throats.

"What a profit-oriented Kushan people!" Zhang Ren learned this news and it was not difficult to infer the other party's problem. After that, he and veteran Yan Yan were stationed in the city and led the army outside to build defense.

In the same month, the Mediterranean Sea, which is different from the scenery here, has a pleasant climate, with lush mountains and vast mountains. The waves of the southern sea rush over the reefs. Nine legions of 100,000 in the city of Rome gathered towards Macedonia and Greece. Another 20,000 people crossed the Aegean Sea from Sicily, sailed towards the Marmara Sea, and rushed towards Constantine.

In the north, after a winter, the Germans were also walking out of the city.

The whole West ignited the war.
